Hello everyone ,
I turned my first Cigar pen today, and since I dont have bushings yet I turned it between centers. I think I may have gotten a better fit than I have on other kits because of doing so. I'm one that tends to add spacers to the mandrel so I have more room away from the headstock. Thats the only part of turning between centers that I dont like..still though, it seems to offer more advantages that not.
..I'm not certain what this wood is I used on the Cigar pen...it has lines like zebrawood but I don't know. And it had an aroma that I would describe as sweet.
I applied approx. 8 coats of thin & medium CA, followed with a couple applications of wax. Wax on wax off.
Thank you all ! đź‘Ť

Great job! A really nice looking pen. From what I can gather, the normal Cigar bushings from BHW, CSUSA, etc., should work just fine if you happen to have any of those lying around.

Congratulations and nice job! Beautifully turned and finished. Whatever wood that is, it goes great with a cigar style. I would like to try it.
